Former Kansas coach David Beaty is suing the university's athletic department for $3 million for breach of contract and unpaid wages, a release from the Texas-based law firm Deans & Lyons, LLP said on Tuesday.
In a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Kansas, Beaty accused university athletic department officials of looking to "find something" on the former coach, like finding a "dead hooker in [Beaty's] closet" to avoid paying him the $3 million owed for terminating him without cause.
"Ever since the season concluded, Kansas Athletics has moved the goal posts on coach Beaty," Deans & Lyons co-founder Michael Lyons said.
